This hotel is in an interesting location: lively and central (but not near the opera!) The room we had was quite spacious with a bathroom that was very clean and recently refurbished. We had use of a safe free of charge, and there was a fridge in the wardrobe with a strange request 'not to put any of your own food in it for hygiene reasons'. We were puzzled as to why it was there as it was not a minibar and we used it anyway. The breakfast was very good and served in a beautiful dining room. The hotel has a small bar but there was nobody else in it when we went down for an evening drink. There was no mini-gym (signposted in the hotel) and a strange basement computer room where I think you could access the internet using a credit card.Staff were friendly and helpful, and the general atmosphere was very good. The only negative point was the fact that we could hear our next-door neighbours as if they were in the room with us. I think connecting rooms are particularly affected, though we could hear people on both sides. For this reason, I have only given the hotel three stars.

Room Tip: You could ask if there are any rooms with views of the street. We looked out on other windows and a...

This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

Although the room itself was in need of decoration, it was very clean and comfortable. The hotel itself is wonderful. It has character and charm. The staff are very friendly and extremely efficient. Everyone is very willing to help and advise the best way to get around.

The hotel is situated a very short walk away from the extremely efficient metro system which will take you into the heart of Paris in a very short time. Other sightseeing attractions such as Montmartre are even closer. The Gard Du Nord is very close, we chose to use a short taxi journey to get to the hotel.

I would have no hesitation to return to the hotel.

We did not eat in the hotel as there are so many restaurants, bars and cafe's nearby.

Room Tip: I understand the hotel is to undergo some decoration. It maybe worth asking if the room is refurbish...

I wasn't sure what to make of this hotel after reading some of the reviews but I was very impressed, you couldn't ask for a better location - I walked to and from Gare du Nord which was about 15 minutes away, it's almost central to most of Paris in walking distance to Opera, Montmartre and The Louvre, close to metro stations and bars and restaurants.The entrance and the lobby itself looks newly decorated but for a four star hotel I wouldn't say the same about the rooms, they look dated and tired and could do with a good refurbishment and didn't have amenities such as tea and coffee which might be expected from a four start hotel. On the other hand it was clean, the bed was comfy, staff were friendly, the wifi was free and didn't have any problems with connection on the 6th floor, they have an in room safe and a mini fridge (although there is a notice saying anything left in there that isn't hotel property will be removed). If you're looking for a room to use as a crash pad in order to explore Paris this hotel is perfect for price and location.

Ask amyloui89 about Hotel Pavillon Opera

This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

Was disappointed with some of the reviews that people had written on here as the hotel is in an excellent location and provides clean, comfortable rooms that are very reasonable (considering that this is Paris)! You get free WiFi and a self service hot and cold breakfast is included to help set you up for the day. We stayed in room 514 which is located to the back of the hotel where we found it quiet. Yes the hotel could do with freshening up a little with a lick of paint, but it was clean and had a real Parisian style to it which we really liked. At the end of the day you are there to enjoy the sights (and shops) of Paris and not to spend it all day in your hotel room. We would stay there again and hope to do so in the future. One tip however when making your way back to either the airport or train station is to NOT book a taxi at the hotel reception but to walk for two minutes to the taxi rank outside McDonalds opposite Rex Cinema as the Taxi will only cost €8.00 (to Gaud de Nord) If you let the hotel book you one then it will cost more as the taxi meter is activated from whether they are travelling from to get the hotel.

Ask Jackie N about Hotel Pavillon Opera

This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

Had stayed there some 10 years ago and this hotel was already VERY shabby. Having said that, the location is excellent with the metro close by and a good breakfast. knowing the hotel's condition,we chose an executive room and got a room at the back - very quiet. They are starting refurbishment soon. We will certainly try the place again after it has been renewed. Reception was VERY understaffed with just one person on a Saturday morning at check-out time ! The poor man was dealing with the telephone, guests and other visitors (taxi etc) not fair on him and on the clients. Hotel has an arrangement with the nearby REX (very nice)car park where you will pay EUR 23 instead of 42 for a 24 hour stay. Don't forget to ask your voucher at reception.

Room Tip: Spend a little bit more and take a superior room with a 2meter bed. Ask for room at the back.

Ask Terje J about Hotel Pavillon Opera

This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

The hotel is certainly not 4-star quality. 2-star would be more appropriate. That doesn't mean it is unacceptable, it just depends on what you pay. If you've got a fairly cheap deal, you might think it's reasonable value.

The hotel is situated about ten minutes walk from Bonne Nouvelle metro station, and there are a few others nearby. You will have to change trains to reach almost all of the main sights, though that's probably the same throughout Paris.

You can walk from / to Gare du Nord in about 20 minutes, so that's an attraction for Eurostar travellers from London. The hotel is in a rather run down narrow road, which smells a bit in places! There is a small convenience store down the road. The main road where the metro station is situated is lively, with some good restaurants, or there's a Macdonalds five minutes walk away.

Reception staff are welcoming and friendly. Perhaps not all as helpful as they might be - when I asked for their recommendation for an Italian restaurant, they suggested Pizza Hut.

The lift is absurdly small, and wouldn't cope if the hotel was full. There is a sign to another lift, which it transpires is only for emergency personnel.

The Free Wi-fi arrangement (collect a new code for each 24 hour period) is just silly and unnecessary. You have to reload the details every 24 hours.

My room was OK. Unlike some reviewers I did not suffer noise from neighbours, though the room was warm. There was no sign of air conditioning in my room. The bedding was clean, and the room was well maintained each day. But the carpet was grubby, and the walls badly needed a coat of paint. The bathroom was quite good, and relatively clean, although when you peered closely into the WC it was clear that a good workout with a brush was necessary. The bath was a tight fit, and the water was hot but took a while to come through at times.

The restaurant only opens for breakfast. The in-room TV displays an attractive dinner menu, but the restaurant only opens for breakfast! Breakfast comprises all of the options you would expect in a European hotel, but the cooked food was hardly warm. In fact the bacon was cold. Otherwise, breakfast is OK.

The bar seemed to be for my use only - nobody else was there, perhaps because the drinks are expensive. I was a little worried at the sight of an ant crawling along the bar towards my whisky glass, and a flying midge of some description settling on my beer glass. There's no consolation in your room - the "room bar" contains two small bottles of water. They don't get replaced either! I find this strange, because this is usually a lucrative source of money for hotels. And there are no tea and coffee-making facilities in the room, which I thought was standard in almost any level of hotel these days.

The TV provision is of little interest to UK or other English-speaking visitors. There are allegedly five English language channels. One is Eurosport in French, one is MTV with German voiceover, leaving the BBC World Service News (not much about UK) and CNN. The "Sports & Entertainment" options comprised four movies at the crazy price of €10 each. The only music channel was .... the German MTV. All the radio channels are French. There are "adult" movies available if that's how you pass your evenings!

This hotel is "tired", and needs livening up. Some little things that they could so easily change would make a big difference.
